Life in a Gang

“In my hood there was only two options: join a gang or die. So I join a gang. I stole, I was a drug dealer all through high school. I met my husband through high life. He wanted me to stop and have a better life. After we got married I promised him I will stop and now I am pregnant with a daughter.”
